'16 GA CB Baylen Buchanan (UT Commit 1/1/16)

[Catbone]

When you need to make room late, here is the prime candidate situation you look for.

We don't need to make room

Not when he's Nigel Warrior's teammate. Granted, IMO, Warrior is locked up, but we don't just let one of his teammates walk.

Tell that to Tim Hart.

Warrior should have talked his teammate out of taking the visit as a commitment.

 

[Weezer]

Tell that to Tim Hart.

Tim Hart refused a blue shirt offer, and CB is a bigger need than LB, imo.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

buchanan is a good player though.

Lmbo. Now you are just making crazy comments. No way we tell Baylen to gitshirt. We are still actively recruiting him even though he is a commit. Plus he is close with Warrior. Not to be confused as being part of a package deal. This kid will shine here. Probably the sleeper of this class.

Is Tim hart your son, geez man, all you have done is ***** about him being let go. Maybe he didn't do his part to hold his scholly. Do you hate drew Richmond for flipping to ut on the last day

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Tell that to Tim Hart.

buchanan is a better football player than hart and its not real close.

So you think we're telling a talented corner commit of ours, who's a close friend and HS teammate with arguably our top target for the entire class (Warrior), to go away and join what is currently the top class in the country?

Dude go change your pantyliner.

Warrior did it the right way. He's taken his visits before committing. Baylen looks like he isn't. If I needed to drop someone two weeks before NSD, it's the commitment still shopping himself around. Not so much the guy who is acting like a commitment. If I have to lose a CB and a LB takes that spot, so be it. I've got Henderson abd Osborne already in. I'll take an extra CB in 2017 and one less LB if that's what I need to do.

Wtf does that have to do with Buchanon? Lol keep digging that hole buddy

 

[BigorangeBoy]

buchanan is a good player though.

Got an offer from Ohio St. the other day. Good player, yes we need more DBs now than LBs. 70% or more of our snaps next year will be in the nickel with only two backers in all likelihood.

Shoop plays the star position more than the nickel

 

[BigorangeBoy]

Shoop plays the star position more than the nickel

but isn't the traditional Star an oversized safety/smaller LB that is used in underneath zone mostly? Who fits that description for us currently?

 

[KnoxVegas]

Elliot Berry & Cortez Immediately come to mind. But I read where Cortez is up to around 242lbs.

JRM, Elliot Berry, Quarte Sapp, Dillon Bates (if he drops to his pre-Mike-experiment weight), Cortez McDowell (former safety though possibly too big now if his current listed weight of 240 is accurate) would be my first guesses.

Our crop of JRM, McDowell, Sapp, Berry, Bates will eat this up. Other than 20 who is a little bigger they are tailor made for Shoop

 

[RockyTopInBham]

If Team120 plays as well as many of us anticipate, I'd guess we start games in 4-3 and finish them in nickel, considering many teams will be playing from behind against us and will be forced to abandon run games and throw it up. JMO, but I'd anticipate more of a 50-50 split in terms of Star vs Nickel.

He'll be fine, Cortez is still one of the first down on kickoff coverage and he carries that weight well.

20 is also 6'3 too.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

mcdowell might be 6'1 at best. hes listed at 6'0

You try and sign the player who can help you the most, whichever that is

Do you know if there's legit concern with this visit to OSU?
